The death, from paralysis, of Hon. Abra-
ham Ozmun occurred at his residence in
Rochester, Mimi, Nov. 30, 1887. The de-
ceased was born in Tompkins county, N. Y,
August 80, 1914. In consequence of his ma
tive cheerfulness and lightness of heart, one
would hardly think he bore the weight of 70
years. In 1856 Mr.. Ozmun removed with
his family to Minnesota and located upon a
farm near the city. In 1859 he was elected
as Republican member of the legislature.
In 1862 he moved to Rochester and engaged
in the hardware business. Since that time,
in company with his sons, they have built up
Minnesota. In 1864-5 he served as mayor of
the city. Mr.. Ozmun was a prominent citi-
zen, generous for the public good, and held
in high regard by the community. Being
one of the earliest members of the Univers
alist church, he was Jealous and active in its
service. When only handful of people raj
lied around its altar in Rochester, he worked
sincerely and faithfully in its building up.
He leaves a widow, three sons, Aaron and
Edward H., of st. Paul; Charles T., of Roch-
ester;.and daughter, Ella E., of Colorado
Springs. The funeral took place from the
residence, December 1, Rev. W. Fl. Nc
